  2. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_acetate

    Ethyl acetate (systematically ethyl ethanoate, commonly abbreviated EtOAc, ETAC or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 CH 2 CH 3, simplified to C 4 H 8 O 2.This flammable, colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee.

  4. Azeotrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope

    Azeotrope. Vapour-liquid equilibrium of 2-propanol /water showing positive azeotropic behaviour. An azeotrope (/ əˈziːəˌtroʊp /) [1] or a constant heating point mixture is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be changed by simple distillation. [2] This happens because when an azeotrope is boiled, the vapour has the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    Ethyl acetate, nail polish solvent. [1] A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid. Water is a solvent for polar molecules, and the most common solvent used by living things; all ...

    A wasp placed in a killing jar atop crumpled legal pad paper. A killing jar or killing bottle is a device used by entomologists to kill captured insects quickly and with minimum damage. [ 1 ] The jar typically contains plaster of Paris on the bottom to absorb a killing fluid. The killing fluid evaporates into the air and gasses the insect.
